Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pumpkin Pudding
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup maple syrup or honey, adjust to taste
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 oz / 96g box
Optional Toppings
  • 0.5 cup whipped cream
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon for dusting

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, heavy cream, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the milk for 2 minutes. The mixture should start to thicken slightly.
  3. Gently fold the pumpkin mixture into the vanilla pudding mixture. Continue folding until there are no streaks and the color is uniform throughout.
  4. Divide the pumpkin pie pudding evenly among 6 individual serving dishes or ramekins. Cover each dish tightly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
  5. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it is thoroughly chilled and firm. This chilling time is crucial for the pudding to set properly.
  6. Before serving, remove the plastic wrap. Garnish each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon or extra pumpkin pie spice, if desired.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. You can adjust the amount of maple syrup to your sweetness preference. This pudding keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
